Denying Americans citizens the right to bear arms based of there mental status is like denying American citizens the right to freedom of speech or press, because you don't like what they have to say, or what comes out there mouth, or what they post in a magazine might offend you. I guess you have some what of a point there Mjolnir, but then the point all together gets trumped by our beautiful Bill Of Rights
Obviously you have never been around mentally ill people and have no concept of what a broken mind can and is capable of.
Bi-polar off meds and manic is ugly, but not like a pissed off boarderline person or somebody with PTSD back from the war thinking they are still there.
Till you see it up close and in person you can spout all the crap you want. However, after seeing it and dealing with it you will realize that some people are not stable enough to have firearms and best of all, you would never allow them into your home to live with you.
I'm not talking about letting these American citizens with a mental problem live with me, even though I did live with a bipolar person for awhile while at times he forgot to take his meds. So there a little uncomfortable to be around, they shouldn't ever be denied the right to bear arms because of that.
Now I'm about to contradict myself in away, I don't believe mentally insane or crazy people who have been locked up in a asylum , padded rooms , straight jackets and all should ever own a firearm unless they was put there wrongfully by someone who knew a judge and then later on he/she was evaluated and considered fine and was wrongfully put in that place. But I'm still a very strong advocate, hence my username Mr.Advocate, and yes I do fight for peoples rights, regardless if others fill strongly against it.
I don't think bipolar ,ADD,depression,ptsd,and a rather large list of other mental illnesses should follow under being banned from firearms, seriously! do you honestly fill those people so long as there on there meds and seeing a doctor on a regular basis should be denied the right to protect themselves and there families.
P.S. I don't just spout off about this kinda stuff either Mr.Mjolnir, I research it, and I research it alot, I look at both sides, the reasoning's and most of all the American citizens rights. Oh yeah, one more thing no one on this link is going to use a few mentally ill people going off the deep end to justify banning mentally ill citizens of this country the right to bear arms. I've heard alot of so called normally people, who legally pass all NIC and ATF checks and are fine and one day they just lost it and just start killing people also, so should we just start spending millions upon millions of dollars on conducting extremely obsessive mental evaluations on everyone who buys firearms, just for assumptions that one day a male/female is one day going to loose it. The answer to that is clearly no, lets try to use a little commonsense here. We are all human beings here and no one is perfect, you just live your life the best way you can, hope for the best for your family and everyone in general and thats all we as humans can really do. If you are a Christian you need to read over and pray the serenity prayer and really mean it.
